GOLDEN
Shortlisted for the 2023 Text Prize
Golden is a warm-hearted optimistic story about friends and friendship and art and beauty—and the power of letting yourself be loved…
When you work in the juice bar of your small coastal town. When your twin brother is the fun one with all the friends. When something happened three years ago that you can’t talk about, but everything makes you remember it. When it might have been all your fault. When going to the beach, to that beach, takes all the air out of your lungs. When the new guy in town, the one who makes you feel like you’re charged with electricity, seems to want to hang out with you.
When it comes time to let your friends back in.
Golden is due to be published by Text Publishing on June 3rd 2025
